    We had a guy send in a four page CV for a TEFL job. He kept going on about cricket and his work as a groundsman.

    I trimmed the fat from my resume. It's hard to know what you should include and what not to include sometimes but smurf it.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I fail to see how these are bad attributes. Hire them!

    Just remember the goal of your resume is to get you in the door for an interview. Consider it an expanded business card but you should still be able to present it like a 30 second elevator pitch.

    I'll work for you mo cara. When pushed I do a rather passable Hungarian accent. I'm sure that'll come in handy.

    Any resume that is longer than 1 page is a bad resume. There are exceptions: 2 page resumes are okay if you went through a lot of positions in the last two-three years with a reasonable explanation for doing so.

    Years ago I used to attach a photo of myself on my resume. Worked pretty well If I remember correctly.

    No one said they were all insane. She said they were the worst, which is true.
